SUPPORT FOR CQRLING'OR CRIMPING IRONS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 605,807, dated June 14,1898.

Application filed October 11, 1897. Serial No. 654,867. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JAMES H. PAIGE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Manches ter, in the county of Hillsboroughand State of NewHampshire, have invented certain new and usefullmprovements in Supportsfor Curling or Crimping Irons; and I do hereby declare the following tobe a full, clear, and exact description'of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same.

The invention consists of a holder or support for curling or crimpingirons, and relates to a peculiarly-constructed device for supporting theiron during the operation of heat-. ing the same.

The object of the invention is to provide'a rest or holder for the iron,and thus avoid the necessity of the user holdingthe iron in the flame ofa gas-jet or lamp until the iron is' sufficiently heated for use.

The invention will be hereinafter describedtended to be used on agas-burner.

' The holder is preferably made of a continuous piece of wire ofsuitable size. I

1 represents the base, 2 the body of the holder, and 3 the support,which sustains the entire device on the top-of a lamp-chimney and whichmay also be used as a rest or sup port for the crimping or curling iron.

The base 1 is a large single coil or convolution having its free endbent underneath,

and which after being formed substantially circular is bent radiallyfrom the circumference of the ring or base, toward the center, and thenform ed into a series of convolutions smaller than the base, and finallybent horizontally, so as to form aloop'3, half of which projects'to eachside of the series of smaller convolutions, as shown. These arms of theloop or support 3 are of sufficient length to extend across and besupported by the top of a lamp-chimney. J

The end of the wire at the top maybe bent at a right angle to the bodyof the loop or support 3, and a wooden handle may be secured thereto, asshown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, so thatwhen the holder becomes hot itmay be readily handled by the user. In this examv ple of the inventionthe holder is laid across the top of a lamp-chimney, with the loop orsupport 3 resting on the edges of the chimney and the body portion 2,comprising the series of spirals or convolutions, substantially tubular,and the base 1 will be suspended in the chimney. The crimping orcurling-iron is inserted in the opening or tube formed by the coils. Thebase being much larger than the convolutions above, it will center theholderthat is to say, its larger circumference of the device shouldtiltor be moved to one'side, would come into contact with the narrower wallsof the lamp-chimney below its flaringtop, and thus prevent the holderfrom falling into the chimney.

first vertically and then horizontally, as at 5, and this horizontalpart or arm is formed with two'or more coils 6 6.

In this instance the holder is used over a gas-burner, the burner beinginside the smaller convolutions and the larger base resting on thegas-bracket, so that it will be firm and steady.

The curling or, crimping iron is inserted through the coils 6 6 in thelateral arm at the top and projects into the gas-flame and is thusheated. v v

While I have shown the holder made of The iron may be heated by layingit hori- The part of the holder 4: for the l wire, and this is thepreferred form, it is evident that it might be made of sheet metal, soas to have the same function and structure.

The holder is easily and cheaply made and very handy and effective inuse.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A holder for curling or crimping irons during the operation ofheating, comprising an enlarged non-elastie base, a smallersubstantially tubular body portion formed as a continuation thereof, andan arm or support at the top for receiving and supporting the iron,substantially as described.

2. A holder for curling or crimping irons during the operation ofheating, composed of a continuous piece of Wire, having an enlarged baseof a single coil, a series of smaller coils above the base, and alateral loop or support extending on each side of the body portion,substantially as and for the purposes described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JAMES II. PAIGE.
